Manddim Groves' son Gabriel has a brain tumor and doesn't know how long he has to live. She said that without HopeKids, they would not be able to do activities like this. The siblings of the terminally ill children were also invited to participate. As Gabriel enjoyed a cupcake, his younger brother, Gavin, decorated his photo frame with LEGISLATURE continued from Page 1 that would protect the LGBT community. First, a bill including a methodical study will take the place of Johnson's original bill. This bill will seek to observe discrimination on the local and national level, providing lawmakers with a clearer vision of the state's needs. "This is not a backing down on our principles or beliefs, but giving the ordinance some time so that we can return next year with data and with science—and hopefully with greater civility than we have ASUU continued from Page 1 meeting, Williams said student fees shouldn't be spent on a program that only benefits 14 U students. "I don't have a problem with the program itself," Williams said. "Speaking with students in the College of Social Work, we felt that (the program) was something that we would personally take on ourselves as a volunteer project." The bill contains a "sunset clause," which requires the program to be reviewed after the first two years to evaluate its effectiveness.

"We do four or six activities every month, and I'm grateful for anything," said C.R. Oldham, the executive director of HopeKids. The event drew people of all ages to participate. Nick Smith has aplastic anemia, the body's inability to produce enough new cells to replenish blood cells. Although the i6-year-old said he felt a bit too old to enjoy the children's party, it gave him a chance to spend time with his little sister, ro-year-old Erica, who enjoyed the party. Smith's mother, Louise Smith, said she is glad that the family is able to do fun things since her husband became unemployed around the time Nick Smith became sick, making resources low for the family. Oldham said he was impressed by Mortar Board and the idea of putting on a Hollywood party for the kids. Mortar Board usually helps HopeKids twice a year to put on events. a.rivera@chronicle.utah.edu k...., vir i Register for The Chronicle's daily newsletter t dailyutahchronicle.com 1\11MXIMMIMXIMMIMMM DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: contact news editor Michael McFall to apply: m.mcfall@ chronicle.utah.edu FITicya0sGA,3IontstrosaBteugrdinanyes. 9; 30 v cp c ix Students Passes, $6 Per regular claE 823 E & 400 S KulaStudio.com 801.521.5852 OGA ever experienced in our communities," Stephenson said. A continuation of bipartisan dialogue is the next step to achieve the equality that Johnson and others hope for. "There will be a specific timeline for the study with measurable results," Johnson said. "I am good friends with Stephenson, and we seek cornmon ground." But "common ground" will have to wait until the study on discrimination moves forward and produces results. "We have legitimacy and sheer determination," Johnson said.

Williams, however, said he thinks the new program should have been approved as a volunteer project first to gauge its success before allocating student fees toward it. "I thought having it as a volunteer program would be the best way to evaluate (it) and see if it's actually working." The bill still needs to be formally approved by the Board of Trustees.
